Chapter 44: The Heartless Prince

Xia Ye thought to herself, tonight is not a full moon night, why did this Wuye suddenly appear again, and without even saying hello, he directly controlled her body. Could it be that she has gained some mysterious power that is slowly about to replace her soul? Thinking of this, she became a little nervous and said to Wuye: "Don't mess around. ”

Wuye ignored her and shouted Feng Yu again.

This time, her voice was much louder than before, and it finally caught the young man's attention.

"Who? Who is calling the name of this prince and living impatiently, right? The young man pulled away from the people around him and walked slowly towards the summer night, and the people behind him immediately gathered around him.

This person has a round face, and he looks a little similar to Emperor Qi, but he is much younger and much more superficial.

"This man is the crown prince?" Summer Night thought to herself.

"Summer night, Feng Yu is the only son of the queen mother, and he is the future monarch of Qi State, you remember him, so you can save embarrassment in the future." No night to summer night.

"Strange, how can you hear my thoughts?"

"You can hear it as long as you want, because we're all in the same spirit."

Wuye suddenly turned over and dismounted, and slowly walked towards Feng Yu.

"Prince, it's me!" Wuye didn't dare to report her title directly, because, after all, her current identity is very embarrassing.

The prince walked in front of Wuye, he couldn't stop looking her up and down, his face was arrogant at the beginning, slowly became a little dignified, and suddenly a happy smile began on his face.

"No ......" As soon as he said a word, Summer Night immediately shook his head at him.

When the prince saw it, he was stunned for a moment and then understood, and he waved his hand to tell his subordinates around him to retreat. This is very excited, stepped forward and grabbed Wuye's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Sister Huang, it's really you." On that day, the mountain behind the imperial tomb suddenly caught fire, and the guardian had entered the palace overnight to report the matter to his father, and there were rumors in the palace, saying that after the fire, your coffin was empty, some said that the imperial sister you escaped the fire and flew into the sky, and some said that you suddenly came back to life...... I really didn't expect you to be alive. "It seems that Prince Qi and Wuye have a very good relationship.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Ye asked, here, the scream of the beast that seemed to be nothing, just now became clearer.

"Sister Huang, don't you know, the Marquis of Zhenguo brought the palace here to barbecue game." The prince said and turned sideways, leading a middle-aged strong man behind him to the summer night.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, see Feng Tao, Marquis of Zhenguo."

This person had been seen in Emperor Qi's imperial study on a summer night, and his beard was unforgettable.

"The Marquis of Zhenguo doesn't have to be polite." Nightless behaves like a princess. Xia Ye thought to herself, it was good to have her come forward at this time, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to cope with it.

At this time, the Marquis of Zhenguo arrived at the silver-faced man behind Xia Ye and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know who this old man is?" ”

Wuye said: "This person is the guide of this princess, and this princess got lost in the snowy cloud mountain, but fortunately he led the way, so she was able to get out of the mountain." "Since following the summer night, Wuye has also learned to talk nonsense.

"Why is the imperial sister in the Snow Cloud Mountain? What's going on these days? Feng Yu asked with concern.

Wuye said: "This is not the place to talk, it will not be too late to talk after returning to the palace." By the way, what kind of game are you guys grilling? Then there was a loud rumbling noise in the cave, as if the beast was struggling, and he took the opportunity to change the subject.

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, thinking that this prince has been pampered by thousands of people since he was a child, and no one has disciplined him well, and he still acts like a child who has not grown up, without any city government. Since he was a child, he liked to follow Feng Tao, the Marquis of Zhenguo, and his father only thought that he followed his imperial uncle was a hundred reassuring.

It's her, who was raised like a prince, and invited an old master Zuo who read poetry and books to teach her, but she seemed to be too old.

After hearing all these voices of Nightless, she decided to listen to more of Nightless's thoughts from now on, so that she would be more familiar with the world.

"Hehe, Imperial Sister, if this palace tells you about the delicious food that is being roasted in this cave, you will definitely be surprised." The crown prince was immediately guided by the topic of the nightless, and happily talked about the delicacy he was most interested in, "This is the harvest of the whole day of this palace!" It's really a bit unlucky, before dusk, the palace and the town of the country took people to hunt in the forest, I don't want to be very unlucky, I hunt some small prey such as hares and pheasants, and I am depressed, but when I was about to collect my bow and return to the city, I found a wild camel, or a female camel with a fetus. When I didn't know how to cook it, thanks to the presence of the Marquis of Zhenguo, he said that the mother camel with a child would be roasted alive on the fire, and finally the lamb in its womb would be eaten, and the lamb would absorb the essence of the mother camel, and the taste was simply wonderful. ”

"Oh, Marquis Zhenguo, you really know how to eat." The Nightless Way is not without irony, but he still has to use honorific titles.

"Don't dare." Feng Tao's polite demeanor and his rough appearance always make people a little uncomfortable.

"Imperial sister, you see this cave is good, just enough to lock up the camel, the inside is burned with firewood, and the outside of the cave is sealed half to death, so that it is easy to add firewood to it......," the prince was still talking about this bloody delicacy with great interest.

Wuye couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, knowing that she couldn't scold anyone for the two people in front of her, so she had to turn her face away, just in time to see the silver-faced man standing in front of him with his hands on his chest, and his face did not have half a wave.

Feng Yu thought she was angry, turned her around, and said disapprerovingly: "Sister Huang, everything in this world is born for people to eat. Don't say it's human, in the wild, the weak eat the strong, and it is common for beasts to eat prey raw, is it possible that they also have to wait for the prey to die before eating? ”

When he said this, Wuye felt speechless. She couldn't help but set her eyes on Feng Tao, only to find that his attention seemed to be all on the silver-faced man, who had been peeking at him.

"Marquis Zhenguo, this is your idea for the prince?" Wuye felt that he should not take the prince to do such a cruel thing, and finally complained.

"Ah, Your Highness Princess." Feng Tao naturally heard the sound of the summer night, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer a child, and now the emperor has let him make his own ideas, and praised him for becoming more and more kingly." "What he said was a needle, this is using the emperor to press the princess. The meaning of the words is that even the emperor doesn't care about him, and you are a princess who is even less qualified.

Summer Night was speechless by him for a while.

"Okay, Sister Huang. I'm overjoyed to see you, so don't take such a trivial matter to ruin your luck. ”

Wuye moved his lips, but finally held back and didn't say anything.

There was finally no movement in the cave, only the crackling sound of the firewood burning, the smell of burnt fire began to overflow, and she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva without any anger: the body was the most honest, and she hadn't eaten a meal of meat in a long time.

Feng Yu took Xia Ye's hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

After a while, someone asked the Marquis of Zhen to come over and see if the food was baked.

The Marquis of Zhenguo walked over slowly, stood at the entrance of the cave and sniffed, and said, "It's okay." He stepped aside.

"Hurry up, open the hole." The prince jumped to his feet impatiently and said.

"Yes."

Immediately someone went up and pulled the stones piled up outside the cave, and a wave of heat suddenly poured out, and the smell of smoke and fire suddenly covered the smell of burning.

The smoke cleared, and the summer night saw a pile of black behemoths lying in the cave, steaming white hot smoke all over its body.

"Quick, you guys quickly take out the little camel inside to the palace." The prince was so anxious that he wanted to do it himself.

"Yes."

The people did not dare to slack off, and they cut open the belly of the female camel, and carefully pulled out a pink and tender steaming suckling camel the size of a calf.

The smell of meat that cannot be described in words spreads in an instant. Those subordinates were not stupid, they had already cut off three pieces of good meat with their hands and feet, wrapped them in clean leaves, and handed them to the prince and the other three.

The prince couldn't even take care of the heat, so he opened his mouth and bit it, although he was so hot that he screamed, he still refused to stop his mouth.

Wuye held the camel meat, and the rich aroma of the meat went straight to her nose at this time, and she also wanted to eat the meat, but when she thought that it was obtained in such a cruel way, she couldn't convince herself no matter what.

The summer night was dry, wanting to eat but there was no way.

"Don't be high, it's a waste if you don't eat." Xia Ye knew that Wuye had the heart not to eat, so he was so anxious to persuade him.

But in the end, Wuye still didn't eat, so angry that he couldn't say anything about the bitterness of the summer night. But there was something even more angry, the silver-faced man on the side suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the camel meat in Wuye's hand, and took it to his mouth expressionlessly and gnawed it.

Summer Night drooled and thought: He is not polite at all, he is more blessed than himself.

However, he had barely taken a bite when a burly man suddenly jumped in front of him and snatched the flesh from his hand. The silver-faced man did not give in, one hand resisted the opponent's attack, and the other hand still clutched the camel meat, not delaying to stuff it into his mouth.

They fought back and forth for several rounds, and Xia Ye saw that the attack on the silver-faced man was none other than Feng Tao, the Marquis of Zhenguo, who had long been suspicious of the silver-faced man, and at this time, seeing that he was so disrespectful to the princess, he couldn't bear to make a temptation.

However, neither side did their best and did not seem to want to tear their faces. After a few more moves, Feng Tao shouted to stop. Then he looked at the silver-faced man and said meaningfully: "Sure enough, there is kung fu." ”

The silver-faced man stuffed the last piece of camel meat into his mouth and said vaguely, "Accept." ”

"Zhenguohou, what are you doing with an old man in a good manner? He is a reckless man in the mountains, and it is not surprising that he has some work to survive. The prince was a heartless lord, and as he spoke, he beckoned to his men, "The meat of this little lamb is really good, little ones, you have been busy for a long time, and eat the rest." ”

The crowd cheered and rushed up to share the camel meat.

However, Feng Tao still didn't seem to want to let go of the silver-faced man easily, he asked: "This old gentleman, I don't know who his surname is, where he lives, and what do you do on weekdays?" It's not just for guides! ”

The silver-faced man didn't speak, just looked at him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Feng Tao was a little annoyed and angry, he had never received such a cold reception, and suddenly screamed and made another difficulty, this time the silver-faced man was negligent, and he took away the sword behind him.

"Hmph, on the hilt of this sword, there are seven soul stones of different colors, which is really extremely rare, such a precious thing is not something that ordinary people can have." Feng Tao felt like he was uncovering the truth.

The silver-faced man's face did not change color, and said: "This is a relic of my father, and the grass people that Hou Ye said don't know, but this thing is indeed precious to the grass people." ”

Feng Tao was about to speak, but Wuye stepped forward, took the sword from his hand, and said: "Zhenguo Hou, this person is the life-saving benefactor of this princess, the so-called grievances must be clear, this princess doesn't care about anything else, she only knows that if she has kindness, she will repay it." It was late at night, and Princess Ben was tired. ”

"Ah, yes, yes, the subordinate was negligent." Feng Tao has been guilty again and again. In fact, in terms of generation, this Feng Tao is the uncle of Emperor Qi and the grandfather of the two sisters and brothers of Wuye, but the feudal rank is here, no matter how high your rank is, you are just a courtier of someone else's family.

"Little ones, go back to the palace." Feng Tao commanded his subordinates loudly.

Originally, if they hadn't met them, Xia Ye and the silver-faced people planned to rest on the side of the road for one night before going on the road, because even if they could reach Pingyang that night, the city gate would have been closed.

But who are these people! After they arrived at the city gate, Feng Tao ordered someone to show a city token to the city guards, and the city guards used a bamboo basket to hang the token up to see it, and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.

The prince took the lead, and the party swaggered into the city.

However, when she was about to arrive at the palace, Wuye suddenly changed her mind, and she said to the prince: "It's late at night, and I don't have a suitable place to live when I enter the palace so rashly, and I will disturb my father." No, tonight, I will rest in the inn in the city, and tomorrow I will enter the palace to face the saint. ”

The prince thought about it for a while, so he ordered Feng Tao to find the best inn in the city to settle the two of them, and then they said goodbye to each other and left.
